Shure SM58, Sabian cymbals, Line 6 Guitar amp, Zoom/Boss effect pedals, Kork Bass pedal,Anything else?
We are looking for a new bandname (as the name 'Plunge' is apparently taken by numerous other bands in North America). So give us your ideas (even if they suck) and it would be much appreciated.sounds good,keep doin what yer doin.Hello. This is Angela. We are very excited because we have changed our name to Supernal (yes that's right) and now you can check us out at www.soundclick.com/bands/supernal.htm We have a new song from the upcoming CD it is called Build Me Up, so go check it out and vote for it! We will be pretty much abandoning this website, but don't worry, you all have been moved to our new mailing list already. Talk to everyone later.......How about "Spider Monkeys"?I heard the new drummer is really hot. He has a nice ass, pecs, biceps, triceps, quads, calves, stomach and most of all a really big #$%@&*.
